Abstract
In spite of a doubling of trains and train miles, and schedules faster by 20 per cent, the cost of suburban operation has been lowered substantially by electrification. Resulting service improvements have changed an appreciable traffic loss to a traffic increase. Important details of the system and its equipment are described here.
